A hyped wine, glad to finally try. Not the boldest or biggest but X-factor to burn, ethereal, complete and utterly gorgeous. Does one bottle allow me to call myself a Prévost cultist? Oh yeah, and happy two years dear wife. We rock.

While not Champagne, #4to7 feel obliged to point out this talented independent wine producer. Domaine de Mordoree make cracking white, rose and reds!
Give them a try if you ever see them!

Starting off a Pinot Noir tasting with the Pinot Meunier. Jerome Prevost makes this stunning single vineyard champagne from 40 year old vines, non filtered and with minimal S02 added during bottling. Striking from start to finish, this 2015 has such potential. Raw almond and marzipan on the nose, citrus peel and white flowers show up after some time in the glass. Still very primary and will evolve with some time, but irresistible right now.

Do you know your ideal dosage level for Sparkling Wine aka Champagne?
@ravawines our current flight is Extra Brut to Brut but we are playing with some different dosage levels for Spring🥂🍾 Brut Champagne is a level of sweetness in sparkling wine. The sweetness comes from a step in the Champagne making process called “dosage” (“doe-sazj”) which is when a small amount of sugar or grape must is added back into the wine before corking the bottle. Because sparkling wine is traditionally very acidic, the purpose of this sweetness is to reduce the intensity of tartness.
You can think of it like adding a little sugar to coffee to “round out” the flavor.

The Salon des Vignerons Independants in Lille is mostly about tasty wine from Independent wine producers, but #4to7 has a very soft spot for Haribo confectionery and wouldn't you know it they happen to have a stand here too! #Yum !
Let us know what your favourite #haribo is!

Repost from @thewineunderground “Always read the fine print-- because sometimes it reveals a great thing. Note the "RM" on this back label. It means "Récoltant manipulant" the sign that it is Grower Champagne, which probably represents less than 15% of the Champagne imported into the United States. My next Second Saturday wine night at the @cafenordo Knife Room is all Grower Champagne and Port. Had a Premier Cru Brut Rosé before? It's about time.” @juliegonetmedeville #premiercru#growerchampagne#brutrose#champagne#seattlewine#pioneersquare

Tonight another Champagne, why not? On the nose, over ripe cherry, red plum skin, candied lemon, fresh cream, and a touch of a bready note. On the palate, a light bodied entry with red fruit, citrus, and brioche all very well integrated. The finish is all about the minerality, fantastic. #champagne#growerchampagne#bonnetponson#montagnedereims#premiercru

Our latest champagne tasting was a hit! Thank you to Hiram Simon for leading us through the wonderful flight of grower champagnes. The evening favorite was a magnum of R.Renaudin 1996 Blanc de Blancs. Visit our website to grab one of these beauties🍾🍾 #growerchampagne#blancdeblancs#magnum#rose#blancdenoirs

Friday 😍
Finally popping the cork on this @proygoulard beauty, swag from a joyous whirlwind summer trip to Champagne with @thesammychronicles_ & @peretticommunications - our fave wine of the trip. Just as good as I remembered 🥂

Enjoyed an absolute masterclass in biodynamic agriculture from Bertrand Gautherot this afternoon at Vouette & Sorbee. The clarity with which he understands his vineyards is stunning. These are must-drink wines. @vouetteet @domainetaiwan #aube#growerchampagne#champagne

Geoffroy Champagne Brut Nature Les Houtrants Complantés 🌸 This Champagne is the result of the same-name parcel in Cumiéres, planted in 2004 with Pinot Noir, Meunier, Chardonnay, Arbanne and Petit Meslier grapes. The percentage of grapes varies acording to the vintage, but all grapes are pressed together, the vinification occurs in steel tanks and the wine rests with cork caps according to the tradition. No final dosage in order to preserve its pureness and mineral content. This is a multi-vintage Champagne, produced in a limited and numbered quantity of 1,000 bottles per year.

Taittinger Champagne Brut Comtes de Champagne 2006 ☀ Chardonnay 100% Grand Cru 🍇 This is the Cuvée Prestige of the Maison, invented by the founder as a tribute to the Counts of Champagne. A real Blanc de Blancs. Wonderful 💣
